Rushmore review by JD
Boy superhero

Max Fischer is a precocious Jewish American 15 year old with mature social skills, able to master adult skills, like directing plays and orchestrating school business cases. Whether or not you find this funny or even entertaining is up to you. I found it poorly acted in the most part, unoriginal, and unfunny. Probably funnier for people who identify with precocious children and like American college type films.

Rushmore review by Shatner's Bassoon
Brilliant and Quirky
(0) of (2) members found this review helpful.
If you are looking for a unique, offbeat film, full of humour and full of great characters, then this is right down your street. Rushmore has a fun energy which keeps things interesting and enough quirky off the wall scenes that make you marvel at the pure genius and creativity of writer and director Wes Anderson. Jason Schwartzman's portrayal of 15 year old Max Fischer is perfect as the likeable underachiever obsessed with being at the center of every extracurricular school activity associated with his beloved Rushmore. Bill Murray also delivers a great performance as multi-millionaire industrialist Herman Blume, friend of Max and subsequent rival for the affections of first grade teacher Rosemary Cross. A truly great film!

Rushmore review by Swambi
A curate's egg

This film is a combination of one of the most bizarrely unbelievable plots, with some excellent acting, music and filming. On their own the shots are good - but together they don't really make a good film.
